Jfc i don't think I'll survive another 4 years of his bullshit.
Get organized, join a Leftist party. Strength in numbers, protection. Consider getting a firearm if that helps (but practice extreme gun saftey, of course).
Can't get a firearm with a medical marijuana card in my state. My home is incredibly secure, though, and I'm in a very blue area.
I do need to get more active with Democratic organizations in my area, you're right.
That's fair! You can probably grab a tazer or pepper spray, which would help a lot.
Democratic meaning the process, or the party? The DNC isn't helping much when it comes to resisting fascism, more sleepwalking into it.
By Federal law you're a prohibited person (can't buy a gun) just for MJ use, even if it's legal in your state. It's a bad law that Dems also want to keep in place because their platform is to use whatever tools necessary to disarm as many people as possible.
Why would a fireharm help...
As Capitalism decays, fascism rises. Protecting yourself and your community is a good thing.
If you are at the point where you have to fight your way out, you are already royally fucked.
If we want to go full doomer, I'd say start looking into ways to move abroad.
Capitalism is decaying everywhere, I suppose you could move to a Socialist state but that won't matter too much if the US Empire succeeds in provoking WW3 with the PRC like their military training manifestos are pointing towards.
The cops will bring the rope to lynch you when you call them about the 60 MAGA on your front lawn.
Ok, you still have not answered my question...
MAGA has been threatening to riot if Trump doesn't win because they're anti-democracy. They've had four year to plan since their last failed insurrection and if things go bad, it's going to get ugly real fast. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Sure you will... you just need to become a white male with middle to high income, cisgender, zero moral values, no ability to think for yourself and will happily follow an idiot who has no plans for improving things but lots of plans to destroy the country, and it doesn't hurt if you're willing to bow down and kiss the ring.
Of course none of that will save you if there's another pandemic or natural disaster since Trump wants to eliminate most of the agencies that provide life-saving information to the public. Also remember that if you live in a blue or purple state then you will be ineligible to receive disaster relief because Trump doesn't like anyone living in an area that didn't 100% vote for him. And let's not forget there are already plans being laid to deport anyone who doesn't look like a stereotypical American. If you're female and of child-bearing age, welcome to the 1700s where you can expect to die from any minimal complications. And it pretty much looks like Ukraine and Palestine will no longer exist as independent countries, if they're not just completely wiped out. Yeah things look pretty bleak.
